I’ve also attached a pdf file of the image for those who are interested.

Giving has become a traditional part of our Advent season. Over the four weeks of this “new year,” we designate at least one day a week as our “Giving Day.”  Since we make an effort to contribute to the Daily Bread Food Bank on a monthly basis, it makes sense to begin our season by giving more where we give already.  So, today, we’ll do “double duty.” I’ll have the kids help me make a donation online at http://www.dailybread.ca, and we’ll head up to the grocery store to purchase a weekend’s worth of meals for the Food Bank’s donation box at the store’s entrance. I’ll try to remind the kids that Advent is a great time to start a new habit of giving which lasts all year long, and that while this is a season of remembrance, we should be doing as much as we can every day to spread and share the earth’s bounty. I hope I remember this myself as we progress into 2012.
